RODRIGUEZ announces New Zealand tour

One of the biggest documentary successes of 2012 was festival favourite Searching For Sugar Man, a terrific musical detective story which followed a couple of avid South African fans as they attempted to track down what happened to their favourite musician, Rodriguez. The Detroit-based singer-songwriter has since been thrust into the limelight following decades of obscurity, earning some much-deserved acclaim for his two great albums — 1970’s Cold Fact and 1971’s Coming From Reality – and appearing on the likes of Letterman and Leno late last year.
